The next day.
Lin Yi put on a green fur coat, hugged Tang Lao and followed Qin Shuihan to the palace.
This year's snow seems to be heavier than last year's. The carriage moved slowly and the sound of horseshoes falling on the snow was very dull.
In the car, although Qin Shuihan didn't say anything, there was a bit of uncontrollable sadness in his brows.
Lin Yi knew that he was worried.
She raised her voice and called him softly.
"Shuihan."
Qin Shuihan immediately relaxed his brows, and the moment he looked at Lin Yi, his eyes were full of warmth.
Lin Yi pulled his hand and showed a bright smile.
"Shui Han, don't worry, I will do nothing today and I will definitely keep a good eating posture and won't cause you any trouble."
Thinking of Chu Xinyi, whom she met at last year's New Year's Eve family dinner, Lin Yi felt frightened.
To be honest, she really didn't understand why a little girl could be so vicious. In her prime, shouldn't she be enjoying flowers, playing the piano, and enjoying life?
The smile on Lin Yi's face gradually faded.
She made up her mind that she must keep a low profile today. No matter who bullied her, she would not fight back or scold her.
Qin Shuihan did not think deeply about Lin Yi's words, but habitually held her in his arms and said softly: "You can do whatever you want and eat how you want, without caring about others at all."
This pampering has no bottom line!
Lin Yi chuckled, swept away the haze in his eyes, and immediately leaned his head gently on him, touching his fur coat.
"Shuihan, you are also Qingqiu, we are dressed as a couple today."
"伉——"
Qin Shuihan laughed helplessly, just pretend to be a couple.
"It's not nice to pretend to be a married couple."
"Okay. Whatever you say."
Qin Shuihan raised the corners of his mouth. He agreed with everything Lin Yi said.
However, Lin Yi smiled and shook his head.
"It's a pity that the place where artists perform will be heated by a fire room, so I won't be able to use this coat. Then do we still look like a couple?"
Qin Shuihan also shook his head. They were lovers and did not need clothes to prove it.
"Then let's go customize couple's robes another day."
"No, you're so childish."
Along the way, Lin Yi was like a chirping bird, talking non-stop.
Qin Shuihan listened attentively. Every word Lin Yi said was interesting.
He didn't respond, just looked at her quietly, feeling full of peace in his heart.
With her around, life is vivid, and the world seems to be covered with a gentle veil.
The carriage drove slowly and leisurely to the palace.
After passing the palace gate, Lin Yi immediately realized that today was different from last year.
Although it was a palace banquet, the guards seemed more casual. They only glanced at Xuanfeng and Biyue and did not search them.
As soon as the carriage was taken away by the guards, a familiar voice came to my ears.
"General, I will pay my respects to His Highness King Han!"
Cheng Xian's voice was as sonorous and powerful as ever, with a hint of joy.
Qin Shuihan nodded to him.
Lin Yi looked at him and smiled happily.
There was not much difference from when he left, and the uniform of the Yulin Guard commander made him look even more heroic.
Cheng Xian was slightly startled. Except for the deceased Princess Han, he had never seen a woman so close to Prince Han. Moreover, the two of them were obviously wearing the same clothes today, and their relationship was unusual at first glance.
He immediately looked at Qin Shuihan with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Qin Shuihan said directly: "Future Princess Han."
Cheng Xian's eyebrows twitched and he reacted quickly. He immediately lowered his hands and shouted.
"I've met Princess Han."
Lin Yi chuckled and waved her hands unconsciously.
She doesn't like others to bow down to her.
The two didn't stay much longer, after all, people came and went frequently at the palace entrance.
Looking at their backs, Cheng Xian frowned. The future princess's waving behavior reminded him of Lin Yi's little actions.
However, at today's court gathering, there will surely be a lot of gossip about King Han tomorrow.
Who is that woman?
Qin Shuihan led Lin Yi through the dragon corridor. In the warm pavilions on both sides, the heaters were burning very vigorously, and the snow on the top was melting.
They walked a few steps and passed by the garden in front of the palace, which was full of young princes, nobles and noble ladies.
Everyone is dressed up to attend.
"See His Highness King Han."
After taking just a few steps, several sharp-eyed people came over to pay their respects.
Lin Yi, who was standing behind Qin Shuihan, glanced at the people coming and saw that the three men in front of him were all wearing thick cloaks, the colors were slightly different, and the patterns on the cloaks were all very refined and elegant.
Two of them held a jug of wine, one held a jade flute, and the other held a velvet fan.
Is this poetry recitation?
Lin Yi's eyes fell on the velvet fan. She didn't know where to fan it in the winter.
"Second Young Master Ma, Fourth Young Master, we haven't seen you for a long time. Young Master Qi, you are well."
Seeing several people looking at Lin Yi curiously, Qin Shuihan immediately introduced generously: "This is Miss Yimu, my future princess."
He took Lin Yi's hand and said, "Ma Wenyu, the second son, and Ma Bingchen, the fourth son of the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Qi Huan, the son of the Minister of Industry."
"Yimu has met two Mr. Ma and Mr. Qi."
Lin Yi bowed one by one, and couldn't help but be shocked. After all, this was the capital city, and he was the son of a minister, and he wouldn't let ordinary people live!
Obviously they didn't know who Lin Yi was.
Qi Huan looked through all his memories and found that no girl in the capital had a girl named Yimu.
His eyes moved, and he suddenly thought of the Ise Teahouse in the capital. People said that the only daughter of the Ise Teahouse was very lovely, but in a place like the capital, the status of a teahouse's daughter was really not mentioned.
Qi Huan decided to go to the tea house to inquire about it.
Ma Bingchen spread out the velvet fan in his hand to block the sunlight above his head.
"I wonder if King Han is interested in having a drink with us? The three of us are having a poetry contest."
Lin Yi was slightly startled. It turned out to be a sunshade fan!
Ma Wenyu saw that Lin Yi seemed a little cold. Even with Tang Lao in his arms, he would look at the Nuanning Pavilion next to him from time to time, and followed his brother's words and said, "King Han, why don't we go to the Nuanning Pavilion?"
Qin Shuihan also noticed Lin Yi's eyes, but Lin Yi's little hands were not cold. Could it be that he wanted to taste some snacks?
He nodded and led Lin Yi towards Nuanting.
Lin Yi didn't feel cold, but she just walked too fast in the morning and didn't eat enough.
There was deep snow along the way, and it took a long time to get to the palace, especially when we saw several plates placed in the Nuanning Pavilion, including a plate of mung bean cake.
Lin Yi couldn't help but speed up her pace.
Qin Shuihan leaned over and said in her ear: "Be good, the ground is slippery, don't walk so fast."
Lin Yi pouted and said, "The snow here has been swept away, and there is no artistic conception at all."
Qin Shuihan sighed. It was precisely because of cleaning that it became easier to slip due to ice.
Seeing this scene, the three people on the side were shocked. No one had ever seen such a gentle side of King Han. Where did the woman next to him come from?
Qi Huan immediately picked up the warm sake on the stone table, poured a glass and offered it to Qin Shuihan.
"King Han, a few of us are chanting plum blossoms and praising snow. Only brother Wen Yu completed the poem in a few steps. I'm really ashamed of myself."
He smiled and shook the wine bottle in his hand.
In front of Qin Shuihan, Ma Wenyu naturally did not dare to accept such praise. He immediately said humbly: "I just happened to express my feelings. When it comes to poetry and songs, how can we be King Han's opponents?"
Qin Shuihan glanced at Lin Yi and saw that she was hiding aside and secretly eating the snacks on the plate, and couldn't help but smile.
This little one really looks like a little squirrel.
He looked at Lin Yi and pondered for a moment, and then chanted: "This body is in the ice and snow forest, not like the peach and plum mixed with fragrant dust. Suddenly, the fragrance spreads all night, spreading like spring in the universe."
The three of them did not expect Qin Shuihan to write a poem so quickly, which was majestic and beautiful.
Seeing the slightly raised corners of his mouth and the gentle look on his face, everyone couldn't help but follow his gaze.
Sure enough, King Han only had eyes for that woman!
This poem also reached Lin Yi's ears. She couldn't help but put down the snacks in her hands and looked at him blankly.
It turns out that Shuihan is so powerful that he can write a poem in just a few steps, which can be compared to that of someone else.
Eyes facing each other.
Their eyes were full of tenderness. Lin Yi bent her eyes and covered her mouth. She was a little embarrassed. At this time, she had just stuffed a piece of plum blossom cake into her mouth. If she didn't eat it, it would expand in her mouth!
This water is cold!
How could his eyes be so moving? She reluctantly puffed out her cheeks and blinked at him.
The three people on the side all noticed their expressions of affection, and Qi Huan couldn't help but ask: "I wonder who Miss Yi is?"
Qin Shuihan immediately walked to Lin Yi and answered for her: "Yimu is from Hangzhou and comes from Jiangnan."
Qi Huan nodded thoughtfully. It turned out that he was not the daughter of Ise Tea House.
Lin Yi chewed the peach blossom cake hard, thinking that Qi Huan had no eyesight and didn't see what he was eating.
However, this question cannot be blamed on Qi Huan. He originally asked Qin Shuihan and did not notice Lin Yi eating. After all, it is rude to keep staring at the woman's face.
The Ma brothers suddenly realized that no wonder they had never seen Yimu before. It turned out that he was not from the capital.
Although several people were very curious about how King Han and her met, they were too embarrassed to ask more questions, so they could only urge someone to write another poem and continue drinking and talking.
They looked at the wine in their hands and seemed unable to compose any new poems, so they could only drink it down in embarrassment.
Lin Yi looked at these young masters with interest. She also took a look at the plum blossoms in the distance, which were indeed beautiful.
Suddenly a poem also appeared in her mind. Although she could not remember the author was Wang Anshi, she felt that it should be a poet after the Song and Ming Dynasties.
Then steal your reputation and deceive the world once!
"There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han is blooming alone. I know it's not snow from a distance, because there is a faint fragrance."
Lin Yi looked at Qin Shuihan and winked mischievously.
The three people on the side praised him repeatedly, but they didn't expect that a woman could compose a poem with ease.
Qin Shuihan drank the wine in his hand and looked at Lin Yi fondly.
Lin Yi ran to him and asked softly: "Is this poem good?"
"Of course it's good."
"I didn't do it."
Qin Shuihan chuckled.
"Who did it?"
"Of course I forgot."
Lin Yi said it with peace of mind.
"Yiyi, have you changed?"
"Becoming shameless?"
Qin Shuihan twisted her nose helplessly.
"Don't talk about yourself like that."
Lin Yi stood on tiptoes and smiled flatteringly in his ear: "I can't help it. The real me now, I don't know all the etiquette of a famous lady."
Qin Shuihan also bent down in cooperation and said in her ear: "It's okay, I just like the real you."
The three people in the pavilion were automated as a silent background. I really didn't expect to see King Han and the woman rubbing their hair together.
Qin Shuihan glanced at them.
"We won't disturb the three Yaxings."
After saying that, he took Lin Yi to Jinmei Garden.
Looking at the thick wintersweet, Lin Yi remembered the scene last year.
"Shui Han, last year, I met some young ladies from the Yan family here. How are they doing now?"
Qin Shuihan glanced at the wintersweet tree in front of him. The blooming wintersweet flowers were very fragrant.
"Yiyi, Master Yan was sent to the frontier by his father, and he finally avoided a few troubles."
However, Yan Ruoqin and Lu Nantian have been entangled for a long time.
Seeing that Qin Zhe was deposed, Yan Linjin, Yan's father, immediately wanted to get married to the Lu family. Unfortunately, the Yan family only wanted to be the main wife. After Yan Linjin was suppressed, he was only taken in as a concubine.
Lin Yi shook his head. Those people were too venomous and were indeed not good people.
At this time, groups of people came over in twos and threes.
Sure enough, the winter plum blossoms are the most eye-catching.
"I've met King Han."
A woman's voice came from beside her.
Lin Yi turned around and saw an acquaintance.
Guo Yun hugged Tang Lao and nodded at them.
Qin Shuihan immediately replied: "I have met Guo Bin."
Guo Yun secretly glanced at Lin Yi again. Who could be so close to King Han?
Lin Yi rolled his eyes and looked at it from head to toe.
She felt that Guo Yun was in good condition, with bright eyes, full of energy and vitality.
Naturally, my knowledge of seeing, hearing and asking was not learned in vain.
Qin Shuihan noticed the expressions of the two of them and knew that Guo Yun cared about Yiyi very much. After Yiyi passed away, she also sent a memorial gift.
However, the real Yiyi is in front of her.
Qin Shuihan curled his lips and introduced in a decent manner: "Guo Bin, this is the future Princess Han Yimu."
Lin Yi smiled and immediately followed his words and bowed.
"I've met Guo Bin."
Lin Yi's eyes were shining brightly, and she didn't expect that the first acquaintance he saw would be her.
Guo Yun was blessed and couldn't help but be startled when she saw Lin Yi's eyes filled with light.
Why is this lady so kind to me?
Guo Yun is grateful to Qin Shuihan because her child's nanny is now recommended by Mu Sisi.
The nanny was honest and caring about the children. Most importantly, she didn't have any bad intentions.
She knew that all this was a blessing to King Han and King Yi, but in the end, it was naturally thanks to the deceased Princess Han.
Guo Yun sighed softly, jealous of the beauty.
However, there is something indescribably special about the woman in front of her, and she seems to be different from those famous ladies.
"Where is Miss Yi from?"
Lin Yi chuckled and scratched his head awkwardly.
I really should make a business card and print a dozen of them. Why does everyone have the same problem?
"I am from Hangzhou, my ancestors practiced medicine."
Lin Yi winked at Qin Shuihan, as if asking if he was satisfied with this concise and concise answer.
Qin Shuihan squeezed her little hand calmly.
However, it is indeed urgent to solve the problem of Yiyi's identity.
Guo Yun's eyes narrowed, and she couldn't help but think of the deceased Princess Han again.
She glanced at Qin Shuihan and thought that this prince had really unique tastes and always liked young ladies with medical skills.
However, it was previously said that King Han would marry Miss Ye family, but it seems that the rumors may not be true.
Guo Yun pursed her lips, and without disturbing the elegance of the two of them, she walked in another direction.
